My mom always said: "Percy, someday you're gonna meet a pretty girl" But, I didn't exactly meet a pretty girl. Me and my friend Nico would have sleepovers together. We'd talk about how it was crazy how we were actually related. Cousins even. About my sh*tty stepfather and his sh*tty father Hades. We would lie awake and stare at the ceiling and just cuddle each other close. Sometimes, we were all we had. I never thought I'd fall for someone, much less someone I'd known so long. Which is why it kinda shocked my mom Sally a little when I told her I was gay. I mean, I was shocked too. I hadn't met a "pretty girl", I'd met a "beautiful boy"...
